I have a Segate USB external hard disk, which is about 1TB.
When I plug the USB hard disk into my laptop computer, fdisk -l shows only my internal disk, external hard disk is not detected by fdisk.
Code:

[root@icefire ~]$fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes

Partition 3 does not start on physical sector boundary.

the sda is my internal disk, not my Seagate hard disk.I am expecting a sdb or sdc or something like this.But there is none aboue sdb or sdc.
Code:

[root@icefire ~]$ls /dev/ | grep sd
ptysd
sda
sda1
sda10
sda11
sda12
sda2
sda3
sda5
sda6
sda7
sda8
sda9
ttysd

but lsusb show something about Segate
Code:

[root@icefire newgentoo]$lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

this: Seagate RSS LLC Backup Plus Portable Drive,
should be my USB hard disk.
and dmesg also detect the disk:

Code:

# before plug it in:
[root@icefire /]$dmesg >/tmp/dmesg0.txt
#after plug it in.
[root@icefire /]$dmesg >/tmp/dmesg1.txt
# then compare the difference:
[root@icefire /]$diff /tmp/dmesg0.txt /tmp/dmesg1.txt

as for the kernel module, I compiled usb_storage as module and load them:
Code:

[root@icefire /]$lsmod | grep usb_storage
usb_storage            65536  0
[root@icefire /]$lsmod | grep xhci_hcd
xhci_hcd              139264  1 xhci_pci
[root@icefire /]$lsmod | grep xhci_pci
xhci_pci               16384  0
xhci_hcd              139264  1 xhci_pci

about my kernel config file in my /usr/src/linux-4.12.12-gentoo:
Code:

[root@icefire /]$cd /usr/src/linux-4.12.12-gentoo/
[root@icefire linux-4.12.12-gentoo]$grep USB_STORAGE .config
# NOTE: USB_STORAGE depends on SCSI but BLK_DEV_SD may

Could anyone help me? Many thanks.
PS:
my gentoo can detect a Kingston 16GB flash disk. But it cannot detect my Seagate 1TB hard disk.
However, the Seagate hard disk works well on gentoo liveDVD and Windows 7.
There is another strange thing: I installed vmware in my gentoo, and there is a Windows xp OS in a virtual machine, the XP virtual machine was able to use the Seagate hard disk, but my real gentoo machine could not use it, sad. :cry:
If you need more information, I can paste them later.

Try this:
Code:
$ dmesg | grep usb-storage


I get lines like this:
Code:
[    6.497561] usb-storage 2-3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[    6.501521] scsi host7: usb-storage 2-3:1.0
[    6.516357] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage


Do you have CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m ?

russK, thanks for your reply, here is what you requested:
Code:

#before insertion:
[root@icefire linux-4.12.12-gentoo]$dmesg | grep usb-storage
[    5.378877] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
# and after insertion:
[root@icefire linux-4.12.12-gentoo]$dmesg | grep usb-storage
[    5.378877] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage

in my configuration file, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y,
Code:

[root@icefire linux-4.12.12-gentoo]$cd /usr/src/linux-4.12.12-gentoo/
[root@icefire linux-4.12.12-gentoo]$grep CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD .config
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y

You need CONFIG_USB_UAS=y/m in kernel, and modprobe uas if it's built as a module.

It seems to be related to eudev.
just put this
Code:

sys-fs/eudev kmod

in /etc/portage/package.use/eudev, and reinstall eudev.
It works
